Black Evangelical Girl

Dog-eared Bible

#Proverbs 31

#goals

Be a virtuous woman

Worth your weight in rubies

Long skirt

Buttoned blouse

Because Modest means

Never too much…

…Makeup

…Independence

….Ambition

Dog-eared Bible

Paul to women

Subject yourselves

To your Father

Then your Husband

In church 

At home

Turn the other cheek

Stay quiet and meek

“God, where is my husband?”

Virgin wife; perpetual child

Cook and clean

On your knees

Swallow your anger

Please your man

With quick and fumbling 

Sex on demand

Now you’re a mom

Holding your daughter

And promising her

“You will Never be

A Black, evangelical girl.”
